Make Memories Where History Meets the Sea

With over 300+ days of sunshine each year, this west coast country in Southern Europe is a great place to visit anytime! Portugal is known for its captivating architecture, stunning beaches and delicious cuisine. This adventure will start on the mainland where we'll make our way through the varied terrain, sipping port wine and tasting pastel de nata (custard tarts) along the way before visiting some of the Islands in the Azores archipelago with trail running terrain you've only dreamed of.

Our team is headed to Portugal soon to build the perfect itinerary for this week-long, all-inclusive trip. While they are out scouting the trails, we'd love to hear from you! What does the perfect Portugal trip look like for you?

While much is still in the air, some items stay the same for all Global Adventures:

  • Expected Trips: May & October 2024
  • 7-9 day all-inclusive trip
  • 6+ trail runs and hikes (7-12K)
  • Daily afternoon activities

We love to listen to you!

If there are must-sees and do's on your Portugal list - please let us know.

Life in the Azores

Nine volcanic islands make up this autonomous archipelago off the west coast of Portugal. Marked by deep teal waters and lush green hills due to the volcanic soil, the Azores are sometimes referred to as Europe's Hawai'i.


As we plan this Global Adventure, we hope to move from mainland to island to discover this North Atlantic treasure!

A Taste of Portugal

Portuguese dishes speak to the country's diverse landscape, from the freshest seafood to succulent meat and rich pastries. We'll get a true taste of what makes Portugal a culinary destination as we explore the its towns, coasts, and hills.

Try pastel de nata (sweet egg custard tarts) and bacalhau (salt cod).
